Reggie Miller

I'm not out there to win a popularity contest. I'm out there to win basketball games.

I didn't want to be like some other guys who jump on another team's bandwagon just to get a ring.

If you win in New York - that Frank Sinatra song - you are a god. You are a king.

If you're joining the Knicks, there's expectations that follow that; there's a lot that comes with it.

That's what I tell all the kids who come to my summer camps: 'You'll get a shot; it's about what you do with it.'

Trying to outplay my sister or come out from her shadow, I think that gave me an edge, or a chip on my shoulder. That's where the flair and a little bit of the drama came from.

All truly great shooters - Dale Ellis, Larry Bird, Craig Hodges, Chris Mullin - we always believed that we were the best shooters in the world.

Drake took me to the limit in our ping-pong challenge.

I would never rule out coaching.

In professional sports, you live in the moment, and that's what I love about it.

I think the character of a man is to establish something where no one else has ever done before.

It used to be you a needed a true center to win championships, but now the point guard position holds just as much weight.

Having played in the league during the '80s, '90s, and the new millennium (old, I know), I had the chance to see firsthand how the best point guards of our time played the game.

Whether it's the best player or the 12th man next to the Gatorade cooler, understanding the personalities on your team is key.

I love the heart of De'Aaron Fox.

I was a brash player, and I spoke my mind on the court.

I don't know if it's a small-market thing or not, but we never get the benefit-of-the-doubt calls like New York, L.A., Miami and the big market teams. That's just the way it is.

I want to make the playoffs, and I want to compete.

Defenses had to play us, obviously, out to the arc, but it was really, to me, my mid-range game that was probably more dangerous than my 3-point shot.

Military veterans and the sacrifices they have made for our country carry a status we all should appreciate and honor.
